EAC Network’s Building Bridges Gala

EAC Network's Building Bridges Gala Celebrates Community Champions with Sands' Support

At the Garden City Hotel, the 2024 Building Bridges Gala came to life in a night of dancing, celebration, and fundraising for EAC Network’s essential work across Long Island and NYC. As a sponsor, Sands New York matched $25,000 in donations raised during the event’s table raise, helping to support EAC’s outreach to over 65,000 individuals through 100 critical programs.

Honoring community leaders, the gala spotlighted Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz and NY State Senator Monica Martinez for their public service contributions, reinforcing the evening’s mission to strengthen local support networks.

“Sands is proud to partner with EAC Network to amplify their work in empowering families, protecting children, and supporting seniors across the region,” said Tracey Edwards, Senior Vice President and Corporate Social Responsibility Officer for Sands New York. “We’re honored to stand alongside such a dedicated organization and community-minded leaders.”
